Praise for I RISE: "Arnold (The Year I Flew Away) depicts even the narrative's most painful moments with compassionate prose, exploring Ayo's struggles to navigate her newfound responsibilities, her frustration with an unjust system, and her mourning of her quickly vanishing childhood with nuance and heart. A lively, complex cast and their unignorable plea for safety, respect, and equality rounds out this potent novel." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Praise for I RISE: "Arnold threads Black history, culture, and current events into her narrative, giving the reader a firsthand view of what it means to be young and Black in New York City today through Ayo's experiences. A powerful and very engaging story of a strong, determined young lady and a call for social justice and understanding." -- School Library Journal (starred review) Praise for THE YEAR I FLEW AWAY: "Arnold skillfully fuses distinct immigrant experiences with the supernatural to express a universally felt desire for belonging.Gabrielle is a charming narrator, and of course, good guy (girl) magic wins out in the end, but the threat to immigrant lives and identities is presented poignantly nonetheless in this richly imaginative origin story of one Haitian American girl that offers a fantastical take on immigrant narratives." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review).
